Chapter 739: Attacking Hedong Again

Three days later, when the army arrived at Jie County, the magistrate of Jie County surrendered the city, and the army marched to another city. Only then did Huangfu Chaobo understand why the army's battle went so smoothly this time. It turned out that since the Sizhou army broke out last time, the cities in Hedong began to seek their own retreat.

The prefect Jiang Pei knew that he could not escape disaster, so he collected almost all the elite soldiers and horses in the cities under his control, as well as a large amount of money, food, materials, and craftsmen, and concentrated them in Anyi City, saying that it was for better defense. The invasion of Sizhou army. As for what happened to these personnel and materials in the end, no one can clearly know.

As a result, although the other cities later recruited soldiers and horses, their combat effectiveness was far inferior to the previous soldiers and horses, so this time Huangfu Chaobo's army came to attack again, and Puban City, the most powerful city, took only one day to defeat them. was captured, let alone other cities.

On May 28, Zhao Yun's army easily captured Yishi County again.

At noon on the 30th, Sizhou's 100,000 troops arrived at Anyi City again. Different from the last time, now on both sides of the Su River in the east of the river, only Anyi is still in the hands of Jiang Pei, and all the other cities have been controlled by the Sizhou army.

Under Anyi City, Huangfu Chaobo led Zhao Yun and other generals to the city to observe the enemy's situation. It can be seen from the bottom of the city that the defenders on Anyi City seem to be quiet and depressing. It can be seen that although Jiang Pei has concentrated all the elites of the city under his rule in Anyi City, the number of defenders in the city is still very low. Morale is obviously not as good as it was during the last battle.

The top of the city was still lined with flags just like last year. Under the midday sun in early summer, they looked like withered leaves on the roadside, hanging on the flagpole at the top of the city. The defenders on the city also discovered Huangfu Chaobo and his entourage outside the city. For a moment, as if they were facing a formidable enemy, the number of soldiers at the top of the city suddenly increased.

Looking at the situation at the top of the city, Huangfu Chaobo suddenly pulled out the long sword from his waist, pointed at the top of the city, and shouted sternly: "Everyone, take revenge, right now, tens of thousands of soldiers are not far away, looking at us in the sky! "

When Zhao Yun and Su Zhi saw this, they both drew their weapons and shouted to the sky: "Break the city and capture Jiang Pei alive! Kill, kill, kill!"

The more than 10,000 cavalrymen guarding the surrounding area immediately drew their weapons, beating their weapons rhythmically while shouting loudly: "Break the city and capture Jiang Pei alive! Kill, kill, kill!"

"Kill, kill, kill..."

Soon the loud shouts attracted the attention of the army who were camping a few miles away, so the soldiers in the camp all raised their heads and looked in the direction of Anyi. Then they all stood up, drew out their weapons, and They all ate and drank together.

This time he conquered Hedong again. The soldiers and horses Huangfu Chaobo chose to defend were basically the soldiers and horses from last year. The soldiers were very angry after last year's defeat. So when they arrived at Anyi City again, the morale of the army was extremely high. Originally, the army's morale was extremely high. The generals wanted to attack the city immediately, but Huangfu Chaobo stopped them and ordered the army to set up camp first and rest for a day before officially starting to attack the city tomorrow.

Seeing this situation, Huangfu Chaobo was very satisfied, took back his sword, nodded to General Zhao Yun next to him, and said: "Zilong, let's go back, everyone, the army will rest for a day today and attack the city tomorrow! "

"The last general takes orders!" All the generals agreed and replied;

The constant killing cries outside the city made the defenders inside the city even more frightened. Huangfu Chaobo received the news that there were at least 60,000 troops gathered in Anyi City, as well as hundreds of thousands of stones of food and baggage, as well as nearly a thousand craftsmen of various kinds. . But if he didn't know, there were actually less than 40,000 troops in the city, and they were all ordinary soldiers.

As for the more than 20,000 soldiers and horses who can truly be called elites, they have quietly moved out of Hedong in batches as early as after the New Year. Only a few close confidants and generals around Jiang Pei know the specific situation. As for other soldiers, It was not clear at all. The news everyone received was that 20,000 elite soldiers had been hidden somewhere outside the city, waiting for the Sizhou army to give them a fatal blow when their siege force was exhausted.

The game is set in AD 194,

On the first day of June in the fifth year of Chuping of the Han Dynasty, when the morning sun rose from the east, one hundred thousand Sizhou troops once again arrayed under the Anyi City in Hedong County and began to prepare to attack this large city in Hedong.

Children's Day, well, today is a good day.

Huangfu Chaobo thought that he would capture this city as a gift to his son for Children's Day. Well, it’s the son Jia Jing gave birth to in real life. A few days ago, Jia Jing successfully gave birth to a son for Huangfu Chaobo in the hospital.

Thinking of this, Huangfu Chaobo drew out the long sword from his waist and said: "General Yingyang Zhao Yun obeys the order!"

Zhao Yun, who was standing in front of the generals, got off his horse, walked forward quickly, knelt down on one knee and said, "Wei will be here!"

"Let's begin, all officers and men from the general below, any general at his disposal!" Huangfu Chaobo handed the sword in Zhao Yun's hand and said in a deep voice;

"The general has not taken orders!"

Zhao Yun raised his hands high, took the sword, then stood up and said: "Generals, listen to the order!"

"promise!"

"According to the established strategy, attack the city!"

"If the general doesn't receive orders, kill, kill, kill..."

After saying that, a murderous atmosphere rose into the sky among the entire army, and then military orders were issued from Zhao Yun's mouth. The already prepared army slowly approached the city two miles away in an orderly manner.

After the military order was issued, Zhao Yun turned around and invited Huangfu Chaobo and Pang Tong to the chariot. This was the place where the general used to observe the war. It was several feet high. Standing on it, you could better observe the war situation.

The main purpose of the first round of troops was to fill the moat outside the city and prepare for the subsequent siege. Because there were no prisoners or dead soldiers this time, the soldiers who filled the river this time were brave warriors drawn from various cities in Hedong. Of course, Zhao Yun also ordered the army to prepare for their cover.

Nearly a hundred wells and catapults had already arrived at the attack position. At Zhao Yun's order, the rain of arrows and stones in the sky were like dark clouds covering the sun, flying towards the top of the city, suppressing the soldiers on the top of the city as much as possible, so that the soldiers who filled the river could fill the moat of Anyi City as soon as possible.

In addition to siege equipment, Zhao Yun also prepared a large number of shieldmen for the soldiers who filled the river. A large number of giant shields covered the soldiers who ran quickly, threw bags of earth bags that had been prepared long ago into the moat, and then quickly ran back to continue carrying earth bags to fill the river.

At this time, the city defense equipment in the city also began to counterattack the soldiers outside the city. As early as last year, after most of Huangfu Chaobo's Sizhou Army escaped, Jiang Pei began to prepare for the second battle of Hedong. He knew that the situation between him and Huangfu Chaobo was already a fight to the death.
